Deep red brick color from long cellaring. Rich full bodied with viscous oily legs. Notes of wet clay, forest floor, mint and sage in the bouquet. Now ripened raspberries, now sweet tomato slow roasted under the oven light, now strawberry cream, now spiced baked cherries, with hints of cinnamon, flinty cave stone, and salt water in the palate. Soft but rich mouthfeel with balanced tannins that are nicely polished but keep a good grip. Green tea, hints of mild tomato, pie spices (cloves, nutmeg, cinnamon) lingering on the finish. Notes of smoked bacon fat, fried egg, herbs, and spices keep lingering for many minutes. Please do not pair with anything ;)
